The Course is the result of the collaboration
between two Columbia University psychologists:
Dr. William T. Thetford and his colleague,
Dr. Helen Schucman.

In 1965, Helen experienced what she described as a Voice
which spoke clearly in her mind, saying
"This is a course in miracles. Please take notes."
Helen took down over a period of seven years
some 1,500 type written pages
which became A Course in Miracles.
The 'original edition' is the unabridged volume of the Courseas it was completed by Schucman and Thetford in 1972.
